Chapter 206: The Belly of the Mountain
Looking behind me again, I saw that the pillars that ran through the ground and the ceiling were not pillars, but like huge tree roots!
I couldn't help but get up and walk towards the roots, and the more I looked up, the more I felt that I was as small as a little ant compared to their earth-sweeping presence.
This space is a hollow at the bottom of Lishan Mountain, presumably a long time ago, and the roots of the tree have been extended to the belly of this mountain. I didn't expect to stumble into such a magical place!
At last I approached a tree root that was closer to me, and when I looked at it closely, I realized that perhaps my judgment was not accurate, it was too thick, and it was more accurate than a giant tree without a canopy, not so much a root! It's just that compared with ordinary trees, it looks a little crooked and cracked, and it looks a little twisted, and the bark is covered with strange bumps and scar-like knots...... It's like a human figure!
I reached out to touch the strange tree, but suddenly I heard a deep voice sound: "Don't touch it!" Although the voice is not high-pitched, it seems to be echoed by the rock wall of the entire space, and it sounds extremely powerful and powerful, and it is completely impossible to ignore it!
I followed the voice, but saw a small figure standing not far from me. is an old man, and his posture and appearance are very similar to the father-in-law of the land in Journey to the West, but he lacks the white beard that reaches the ground, and instead of it, he has a thick black beard.
"Are you ......," I asked hesitantly.
The man just stood there blankly, staring straight at me with eyes half obscured by his hat.
I wondered: could it be a piece of wood in the form of a human being, but I mistook it for a human being because I heard someone speak? But when I looked around, I didn't see any other figures.
So I walked cautiously until I was less than a meter away from him, and he was still motionless. But I clearly saw that his eyes were shining as he looked at me, and he was indeed a big living man!
"Who are you?" I asked again.
However, the unidentified land lord remained silent, and I had no choice but to reach out to his face, trying to reach under his nose to see if there was any snort.
My fingers were just close to the tip of his nose, but I saw him suddenly open his mouth and bite my hand, which frightened me into quickly withdrawing my hand and retreating again and again!
"Hahaha!" The lord laughed insolently.
This time I was really sure that he was alive, and I complained inexplicably: "You are a living person, then you should be heard!" ”
His laughter stopped abruptly, and he said sharply: "You are a descendant, how can you talk, no big or small!" ”
I couldn't help but be embarrassed and muttered, "Wasn't it polite just now, you shouldn't be silent!" ”
"What did you say?"
"Didn't say anything!" I quickly responded, and then asked, "Who the hell are you?" Where is this? ”
"Well, you can call me Pu Weng, this is where I live." He replied.
"Pu Weng's seniors, juniors Mo Yan...... You live right down here? "I was surprised.
"What's wrong with that?" His eyes widened, "Look how quiet it is here, I've been the only one for decades...... Except today you kid suddenly broke in! ”
"This ...... I don't want to......" I subconsciously glanced back at the hole I had fallen into.
"Now that you're in, don't go!" Park Weng said suddenly.
"Ahh I was taken aback, thinking to myself, could this person be some kind of reclusive martial arts master, who wanted to take me as an apprentice or something?
He suddenly laughed all over his face: "Funny you!" ”
Before I could react, he said to himself: "I've been alone for a long time, and finally someone has something to talk to, and I can't help but want to be happy." ”
I looked around the environment, it was empty and quiet, probably influenced by the trees and hot springs, and the air was warm and pleasant, except that there was no sunlight, and it was not much different from the outside world. But that's it...... How to say it, I always feel that there is a kind of yin qi shrouded in forests, which makes people faintly uneasy.
"You won't ...... You accidentally fell through that hole, right? I asked curiously.
"Of course I'm not going to be as stupid as you!" "I came in from there on purpose," he shouted. ”
It's still the same as me after a long time!
"Didn't think about finding a way out?" I'm already looking around to see if there's a possible way out.
"Why go out?" He asked.
"Why ......" his question made me stunned, yes, if you can survive in this isolated place, why go out and face the troubles of the world?
But when I looked at the man's outfit again, I saw that his coat and hat were not old, and if he had lived underground for decades, he would not have been able to do so. Seeing that his hair and beard were all black, if he didn't ingest food from the outside world, it was unrealistic to maintain such kidney qi. This old man said this deliberately, Bacheng is joking with me again!
In this way, it also shows that there are indeed places such as imports and exports, which makes me feel a lot more at ease.
Immediately laughed and said: "That's right, escaping is also a choice!" ”
As soon as he heard my words, he slashed at me with a palm without warning, but I was not careless, and quickly jumped back to dodge. He obviously refused to give up, and bullied him again, and his palms came at me as fast as a whirlwind.
In fact, I have long realized that Mo Yan has kung fu, and fortunately, it has been preserved as a sports memory and has not been forgotten. Immediately, he naturally showed his skills and wrestled with this strange old man!
After a few rounds, I already found that there was no murderous aura in his attacks, and finally found an opportunity to jump out of the circle, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Don't make trouble!" ”
He originally wanted to come over to fight, but he was stunned when he heard me say this, and then he stood on the ground with his waist crossed, shouting like a child: "You are really boring!" ”
"Park Weng-senpai!" I said, "The juniors have very important things to do now, and they really don't have time to stay here, and I ask the juniors to tell me how to leave, and the juniors are grateful!" ”
"What's important?" He asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"What is important to me?"
"This ...... The junior was summoned by the imperial court to assist in the fortifications of the imperial tomb, and he had just arrived, so he didn't know exactly what he needed to do...... "I'll tell you the truth."
"Imperial Tomb......" he said, looking up.
I followed his gaze and it seemed like he was looking at those strange humanoid trees.
"These trees ...... It's really weird! I sighed.
"This tree has a name, it's called the Necro Tree." He said.
"The Necro Tree?"
He suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at me, his face turning green from the light of the rock wall, and he showed his white teeth and smiled, "It's a tree that eats the dead!" (To be continued.) )
